Frequently Asked Questions About Alpaca Gloves & Wrist Warmers
Are alpaca gloves warmer than wool gloves?
Alpaca fibre is known for its excellent insulating properties, providing beautiful warmth without excessive weight. Both alpaca and sheep's wool can make wonderfully warm gloves, with the overall warmth depending on the fibre blend, thickness and knitted construction. Weight for weight, alpaca gloves can offer excellent warmth.
What is the difference between alpaca gloves and wrist warmers?
Traditional alpaca gloves cover your fingers and hands, while wrist warmers generally cover your wrists and part of your hands, leaving your fingers free. Fingerless alpaca gloves offer a similar practical alternative, allowing greater flexibility for everyday activities while still providing comfortable warmth.
Are fingerless alpaca gloves warm enough for winter?
Fingerless alpaca gloves provide warmth around your palms and wrists while allowing your fingers to move freely. They're a comfortable option for cool days, working indoors or activities requiring dexterity. For particularly cold weather or extended time outdoors, full-fingered alpaca gloves may provide better protection.
You can even double up by wearing full-fingered alpaca gloves over your fingerless gloves. When you need to use your fingers, simply remove the outer gloves and your palms and wrists will still have an extra layer of warmth.
Are alpaca gloves suitable for sensitive skin?
Alpaca fibre is valued for its softness and smooth feel, making many alpaca gloves comfortable to wear against the skin. Fine baby alpaca can feel particularly soft and luxurious. However, individual sensitivities vary, and the comfort of finished gloves also depends on their fibre blend and construction.
How do I wash and care for alpaca gloves?
Always check the care label before washing your alpaca gloves or wrist warmers, as instructions can vary depending on the fibre blend and construction. If hand washing is permitted, use cool water and a gentle wool-safe detergent. Avoid rubbing, twisting or wringing the fabric, and reshape carefully before drying flat.
